Sunday afternoon at Wentworth Club in late September, where the sun is low and the leaves are beginning to rust. Everything is still and pristine, and into the light step two of the most aesthetically pleasing swings in golf. Rory McIlroy bounds to the first tee with a spring in his step, where Adam Scott is waiting with sleeves rolled up, sporting a deep tan over perfectly pressed cream trousers, with the air of a man who just berthed his yacht.
These golfers on this golf course on this beautiful late summer day? No wonder fans stacked three or four deep on all sides to catch a glimpse as the pairing moved through the grounds. McIlroy alone carries a magnetic attraction, of course, and here the entourage included a string of sweaty photographers and reporters, some burly security personnel, two police officers, the Everton midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and half the population of Surrey.
